Description
A comment on #35955 says that there's an option to disable the gui for libiodbc. It'd be useful to have a variant for this, so that users who don't want to install gtk2 with the +x11 variant (say, because they have +quartz in their variants.conf) wouldn't have to do so if they have to install libiodbc (say, because it gets dragged in as a dependency by the kde4 ports).

Replying to ryandesign@…:
It would be better to make it a subport, if possible, rather than a variant.
That would work, too; I was just going off of the previous suggestion.

I have a portfile for libiodbc in my local portfile repo that does the variant method (because I find variants easier to write): https://github.com/cooljeanius/LocalPorts/blob/master/devel/libiodbc/Portfile
I'm not actually attaching it to this ticket here, though, because I made some other irrelevant changes to it, too, and those don't necessarily need to get mixed in.
Edit: actually what the heck, maybe I should make a patch anyways...

GUI placed into a default +x11 variant in r109848. Also expanded dependency list and required gtk/cairo/pango to use +x11 when libiodbc is +x11.
